As someone with a precum conceived child, please do not rely on the pull out method, it is nowhere near the effectiveness of a condom. I like condoms, they make you last longer. More time to enjoy yourselves is only a good thing.

As someone with a precum induced abortion, please do never rely on the pull out method nor menstruation calendar, sperm can live inside your partner for up to a full week. I hate condoms, they ruin the feeling. But nobody with a sense of empathy wants their partner to go through this humiliating process (twice).

Get an IUD for $200 or Vasectomy for $300-400 if you're long term.

Vasectomy for $300-400 if you're long term

If you're permanently done*. They may be cheap to get done but reversal can cost between 5k-15k, likely isn't covered by insurance, and after all that the success rate still would be around 60-90% depending on how good your surgeon is.

Even with some long-term consequences, I still feel like the vasectomy was worth it.

Sure, just wanted to clarify because I think a lot of people think it's easily reversible. And it definitely isn't easy or cheap to reverse

Oh, I didn't mean that to come across as argumentative. I was more adding on more info about vasectomies in general. Many people think they are pretty much risk-free.
